NHL Breakdown If Barrie does end up in a arb hearing, do you think it strains the 'apparently' strained relationship w/#Avs management even more?Īs of Thursday night, only two players on the General Fanager list of arbitration-eligible players who filed against their teams had yet to settle prior to a hearing. He was a liability with the puck even when he had it, which wasn't very often. Andrej Sekera, with Edmonton last year for instance, was charged with 82 giveaways in 81 games. Now look, some guys do turn the puck over too much, and the stats accurately portray them as shaky. Yet, if anyone were to be easily swayed by giveaway stats, they would likely think Doughty is a turnover machine and not worth having. That's a big reason why he won his first Norris Trophy this year. Doughty, in fact, led all players with a 58.1 Corsi percentage. And these five guys have the puck on their sticks a lot. You can't turn the puck over if you don't have the puck on your stick.
Well, maybe the Montreal Canadiens would with Subban, but we digress. Would anyone say any of those five guys had a bad year.that they wouldn't want them on their team? No.
Joe Thornton (98) 4, Drew Doughty (97) and, 5, Erik Karlsson (96). Well, let's take a look at the top five giveaway leaders, according to , in the league this past season, according to Sporting Charts. If I have to name one overrated stat here, though, I'm going to go with "giveaways." How can it ever be good for a player to have a high number of giveaways or for their occurring at all to be considered insignificant? How is giving the puck away a lot not considered a horrible thing? Generally, I like all the possession stats, things like Corsi percentage and Fenwick, and I like the new iteration of stats that show where shots came from and how often certain players shoot from certain spots and the percentage of closer-in shots some goalies face than others.
